Dialing in to your system
1. Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer.
- If you have the Ring Time set to Toll Saver, the system answers after 2 rings if you
have new messages and 4 rings if you don’t. You can hang up during the third ring.
- If your answering system is off, it will answer after about 15 rings and sound a
series of beeps instead of your greeting.
2. During the greeting (or beeps), press # and immediately enter your security code. (If
you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the system hangs up and returns to standby.)
3. The system announces the time, the number of messages in memory, and a
help prompt. It beeps
intermittently to let you
know it’s waiting for a
command.
4. When you hear beeping,
enter a 2-digit command
from the chart:
